To ensure a smooth and efficient application process, we require all applicants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) at least three weeks before the grant deadline. Log in or create a profile through our GoApply portal to submit an Expression of Interest

Why Do We Require an EOI?

The EOI serves as an initial assessment tool, allowing our grants team to evaluate whether a proposed project aligns with our funding priorities. If the project is deemed a strong fit, applicants will be invited to submit a full grant application.

This process is designed to support applicants by ensuring you have sufficient time to prepare a comprehensive application before the final deadline.

When Can I Submit an EOI?

You don’t need to wait until the three-week deadline—EOIs can be submitted at any time before then. We encourage early submissions so we can provide timely feedback and guidance.

Once we receive your EOI, our Grants Team will be in touch with you to discuss your initiative.

If your project aligns with the Foundation's mandate, funding programs, priorities, desired impacts, and criteria, we will invite you to complete a full application.

Once you have applied, your application will go under a Staff Team review and a blind peer review by the Governors. Grantseekers will have the opportunity to answer any questions raised during the review process.

The Board of Governors makes the final decision on each Investment Grant application. Board decisions may not be appealed.

The timeline from application submission to grant decision is 8 weeks.
